Book excerpt: An American pacifist and an English earl wage a war of seduction in this Christmas Regency romance by the bestselling author of the Clan Kendrick series. Blame It On The Mistletoe. . . When Major Lucas Stanton inherited his earldom, he never dreamed his property would include the previous earl's granddaughter. Phoebe Linville is a sparkling American beauty, yes, but with a talent for getting into trouble. Witness the compromising position that forced them into wedlock. Whisked away to Mistletoe Manor, his country estate, it isn't long before she is challenging his rules—and surprising him in and out of bed… Phoebe has no intention of bowing to Lucas's stubbornness even though he offers all that she wants. His kisses and unexpected warmth are enticing, but Phoebe is determined to show the earl of Merritt what real love is all about. And if that takes twelve nights of delicious seduction by a roaring fire, she's more than willing to reveal her gifts very slowly… “Wildly sexy and romantic…will warm your heart and send you straight to the mistletoe!”—Kieran Kramer, USA Today–bestselling author of the House of Brady series “Kelly…combines wit, innocent sensuality, and seduction in this tale of a forced marriage between a beautiful plain-speaking pacifist Quaker and a handsome war hero who inherits a rundown earldom.”—Publishers Weekly “[An] emotionally intense and beautifully crafted novel.”—RT Book Reviews
